xCruzo Brief
The Chicago Cubs turned a routine off-day detour into a viral scene at Churchill Downs on Thursday, where third baseman Alex Bregman and manager Craig Counsell helped set up a field trip during a scheduled break. At the Kentucky Derby venue, Bregman Family Racing’s colt Act of Parliament won its race, triggering wild celebrations from players, coaches and staff. The Cubs flew to Louisville, Ky., took in the track, then bused more than 100 miles back to Cincinnati for a three-game series against the Reds. Chicago’s magic number to clinch a postseason spot is 3, based on wins and Arizona’s losses. In the meantime, Ryan Rolison and a jockey costume stole the show.
